Are you feeling enriches? Have you thought about Jack-O or Sol yet today? Are you rolling your meat filled pumpkin around?
-A contemplative Illyrian
I'm very enriched, I have two library cards and free enrichment attached directly to my house keys:
A meat filled pumpkin can be accessible ebooks and public services; a small sword, and a 2d girl
#Asks#I covered the library cards so I don't dox myself lol but they're there!!#I actually almost applied for a third one from a different library the other day but stopped myself LOL#Ohio's cool af because you can get/use a library card from anywhere in the state as long as you live here#It's not like other states where you can only use the libraries in your county/district or whatever#So like I could get one from like Toledo even if I lived in like Cincinnati or something#One of the few things Ohio gets right lmfao#Apparently this state has one of the highest/most positive opinions on libraries in the country. Wonder why!! Haha

8/30/19 11:39pm SU 14/? - Andi, A Fated Encounter
I had the urge to name this one Dating Start! but I’m saving that title for the next post, because we’re not going to get that far tonight. But in that context, then Bonetrousle could’ve been an wildly appropriate name for this story :3 Maybe it’d also be little less cliche, but I don’t want to pigeonhole all my posts about her into Undertale references, that’d be silly lol.
So as I was saying in my last catchup post, Jared, Storm, and I started going to boxcar most sundays. This was a sunday, must’ve be 6/24/18 based on my previous journal entry and my next one (I’ll post it later in this entry), almost immediately after having the nice acid night with Manu and reflecting on my love life and how I thought things were really shaping up for me.
As per usual, we grabbed a table to ourselves and began to drink up some mimosas and smoke some cigarettes. It was late in the evening before we even made it out there. I think the sun was close to going down if it wasn’t dark already. I think I remember that it was one of the nights Boxcar had a live band playing.
While Jared and I smoked and shot the shit as usual, Storm started to flit around the patio meeting people. Exceptionally outgoing. I always loved that about her; it was why I was happy to spend time with her regardless of any attraction to her. She had a way of just gravitating people into the group and creating new opportunities to meet people all of the time, though admittedly it was usually guys who were attracted to her. Still always made for great conversation, though.
Tonight was a little different though. Storm caught the attention of a tall brunette, wearing short shorts and had a bright colorful tattoo of a cock (lol rooster) on her thigh. I could hear them gush to each other about their tattoos as I talked to Jared and smiled at Storm’s propensity. I believe the brunette wanted to take a chair from us to make enough places for her and her friend (a husky guy) to sit, but Storm said no, and told them to push the tables up together so that they could sit with us instead. She set a chair next to me for Andi to sit down at and introduced her to me. Andi, with an i. To my recollection looking at her I thought, “Huh she’s actually really cute. Tall. Skinny. Great body. Cute face. Kind of a big nose, but definitely fucking Cute.” and then I remember the way she shook my hand, lingering for what seemed like an eternity in just a moment or two. In my head I noted it and was like “oh really?” Then she said she loved my Ash Ketchum hat, and I explained how I had just gotten it to celebrate my speedrunning accomplishments. She thought that was incredible. I began to elaborate to Jared about how one day I’d actually follow through with speedrunning House of the Dead 2 now that we’d been playing it a little.
House of the Dead 2?! She exclaimed. I love that game! Now, mind you, I’ve literally never heard that from anyone. Even with Jared it was something like “oh yeah THAT game! So good!” So now this cute girl has commanded my FULL attention. I start asking her about her other favorite games, and we talk about Portal for a while. We talk about DnD for a second and I say I play a tabaxi rogue, and begin to explain the catpeople race and she says “please. I Know what a tabaxi is.” Huge nerd boner lmao.
I get excited, ask if anyone wants to do tequila shots with me, she’s the only one who takes me up on it. We start to walk inside and her friend decides to join us. We’re arm in arm I think? She puts my hand on her ass, and we gallivant off towards the bar talking about DnD plots.
I order the tequila shots, her friend insists on paying for them even though he’s visiting from Ohio. I’m like “really? what?” but at this point I’m much more accustomed to people buying me shots from my past year in Greensboro so I happily and graciously accept. We do the shots and he walks off to the bathroom. I make a quick doublecheck that they’re not dating, and then Andi and I start full-on making out. I can’t remember what even triggered it. We just looked at each other in that way like “go on, do it already,” so we did lol.
Honestly I think she’s got the record by far for landspeed hitting it off-to-making out time (and landspeed to hookup time, but hold up on that). Like we just fucking clicked.
We’re waiting for a While to come back, so after making out for a while longer I go to check on him and he says he’s fine but he’s in a stall and I’m pretty sure he’s puking lol. Everybody has those days.
So Andi and I run off to the House of the Dead 2 cabinet to start playing, we both imitate the voices of the first scene perfectly, giggle and start making out again. And made out during every single cut scene after. I’m shooting zombies while kissing her instead of looking at the screen, it’s adorably gross. At least to me. I don’t know how You feel about it, and I don’t much care lmao. Also I don’t know if you know much about the first few levels of HotD2, but there are a smorgasbord of cut scenes with the greatest dialogue ever. You really ought to check it out.
I think we barely killed the hierophant in lvl 2, but Andi died during that boss and I only had one life left so we just let it go when I get hit on lvl 3.
We start to walk outside to our friends when I ask her if she wants to take a little detour to my car first. She says she doesn’t do anything in cars, but yes, definitely. We’re giggling like little kids meandering around trying to think of a suitable place that’s not a car. There’s a parking lot behind Greensboro’s boxcar that’s kind of tucked away in some trees. It’s not private by any means, but it’s out back and not really used since the main one is so big. There’s a little shed next to it, too, and we decide hey I think this is as good a place as any lmao. I convinced her that I really did have a vasectomy, she made me agree to pay for her abortion if I was lying, and we laid down in that gravel parking lot right then and there and fucked the shit out of each other lol. Started with me on top, but had to shift positions a few times since she was LAYING IN GRAVEL LMAO. We did it doggystyle, and then gave up on the gravel completely and I bent her over somebody’s car. Mmm. It was fantastic. While I waited for her to put her clothes back on I excitedly stood there pantsless, swinging my dick around in public, and luckily after giggling with me for a second she told me to put my clothes back on Right before the people who owned the car we just fucked on walked up to leave lmfao. That could have been the worrrrrst.
But it wasn’t. It was the fucking best.
We share a cigarette and smile at each other walking back to the bar. Promise not to make a big deal about it when we get back lol.
When we get back, Storm has made some more new friends. An older lady. Not old, just older, and I think some other guy are there and it’s them Storm, Jared, and Andi’s friend Brian who’s made it back from the toilet. We sit down and Andi starts talking to Brian and I’m talking to this lady who starts telling me to not make a move on Andi, how I know that she’s here with him and that I really shouldn’t. And I’m like well I mean I heard that they’re not together or anything, and she was like “yeah, but come on. You know.” And I was like honestly I do know but regardless of if he has a crush on her and drove all the way down from fucking ohio to profess his love or whatever, she’s clearly not about it. But I decide not to say any of that and just say “well it’s a little late for that advice, but thanks lmao.”
We all stayed and chatted for a while. Andi and Brian left to go home. Storm and Jared made me spill the beans on what I’d been doing, and at first I tried to play coy and act like I wasn’t going to tell because nothing happened. But that just meant they knew something HAD happened, so they pried harder lol. Sooo I excitedly told them that we fucked out in the parking lot in the back and they stared at me mouths agape like I had never seen them before. Storm was doubly excited because she thought we looked cute talking together. Jared was proud lol. High fives all around. We had another smoke and finished our drinks and had to part ways though, Storm could never stay til closing because of work and Jared had to drive her home.
And so I went home with Andi’s number in my phone, a grin plastered to my face, a story I couldn’t wait to tell everyone I fucking knew about, and just amazingly elated to have met someone so fucking cool.
This is the only paper entry I ever made about Andi.
It’s funny, I had called every crush I had ever had in college “the love of my life.” Not even real crushes like Lexi, but like if I’d ever even met a girl at a party hahaha. I’m sure I got Manu absolutely sick of it. But I hadn’t called anyone the love of my life in years. Definitely not since I started fasting and shit again. I meant it to be tongue-in-cheek still, of course, but she definitely made me want to bring it back.
As far as later writing goes, from later to do lists you’ll see that I had meant to do a whole andi-stats thing that we had drunkenly(?) talked about once, but it never happened.
I guess reflecting on everything now, I was only writing sexy paper journal entries way back when me and kailey were first dating and I was really fucked up on drugs and enjoying the sex so much. I’d roll over in the middle of the night to jot something down about caressing against her back or something. But after she cheated on me that first time with pinelli those entries stopped. And since moving out of Coolidge I’ve really only been passionate enough to write when things were going rather poorly, and when they were going good maybe I also felt like I didn’t want to jinx it. Like Rachel and Mary I clearly only felt like writing about when it was already over and I wasn’t quite ready to admit it yet.
I definitely regret not writing more though. I also regret not saving vods of us playing games together. I don’t know why I thought things would just stay when they’re not meant to last, but that definitely sounds like me.
Alas, so this is it from the notebooks. Hope you weren’t looking forward to more of my handwritten journals. After this rather insipid post about my teeth I never made another paper entry. I suppose I was too busy texting Andi and sharing all my thoughts with her rather than keeping them to myself.
So I guess we’ll see if we can deep dive into some texts next time. It’ll be harder to motivate myself to do a post that way (feels a little stilted and I hate doing all the scrolling back through my phone), but I think it’ll turn out cool. We’ve still got a lot of ground to cover.

2018: a year in review
rang in the new year with really good people actually watching the ball drop for the first time in a few years. it always makes me sad in a happy way.
had my friend (from california) i met while studying in berlin come to visit!!! but there was a giant (relatively speaking) snowstorm that came through, so we had to rearrange a couple things we had planned on doing. but most things worked out, especially since i didn’t have to go to work for like 5 days lmfao. we did a ghost tour, went to a few historical sites, and even drove to savannah for a day.
went to waffle house with a few people the night before i left for my last semester at american university and....tbh....started feeling some things about someone again (but it’s gone away lmao)
returned to dc for the last time for a while
actually started booking things for the best goddamn spring break -- a trip to western south dakota to visit badlands national park and everything around it
saw the devil makes three
started an internship with rock creek park, my own door into the nps
went to the bars on u street for the first time for my friend’s birthday. almost got projectile vomited on during the pregame lmfaooooo
saw arlo guthrie
got moviepass at the height of it. i saw many films with it, some of my favorites being lean on pete, three billboards outside ebbing, missouri, and bad times at the el royale. however, the company obviously went downhill. i was all right with only being able to see 3 movies a month, because for 10 bucks, that’s still not bad. but then showtimes started disappearing and i finally gave up hope. it was nice while it lasted.
took my german midterm and skrrted right out of dc to embark on one of the greatest journeys of my life. i’d had this spring break in mind for a year and a half, and i feel so grateful that i could actually accomplish virtually everything i had dreamed of:
drove to dayton, ohio, then waterloo, iowa, then wall, south dakota, my final destination. along the way, i saw a zoo that was my window to a west i had only ever heard about, a statue of abraham lincoln right next to the mississippi, the world’s largest truck stop, a hobo memorial, an intricate and delicate and intriguing grotto, a tri-state marker, a corn palace, the goddamn missouri river, and all the farmland and life that make up the heartland of the united states. i was mesmerized and i had barely started.
reached my motel in the evening with a backdrop of the sunset over the badlands, got nervous by a group of men wearing camo and carrying what seemed to be hunting or fishing gear, went to dairy queen, and came back to a once-again empty motel parking lot. i felt better.
spent the next day in the national park. it was the off season, so the entrance i went through was unmanned. i saw countless sheep and prairie dogs, sometimes within a few feet of me, and admired the bright, layered colors in the rock. i played springsteen’s “badlands” with nobody in sight, miles of land in every direction that seemed both right there and unreachable at the same time. the visitor’s center had information and nice people. the cliff shelf trail was a small introduction to my hiking in the park. the notch trail was fun and gave me a bruise and let me see the badlands as they are meant to be seen -- you get to climb a ladder and get into the formations. there is an astonishing view, but if you go a bit further than most people do, it’s even more incredible. i lay down backwards and looked at everything upside down. i drove back the way i came and stopped to admire the sunset over the jagged and far-off edges. it was still the beginning.
(got an email saying i was accepted into the disney college program lmfao)
with the next day came a further destination. in belle fourche, sd, there is the true geographical center of the us. you go down a gravel road for around 8 miles. it’s scary when the fog doesn’t let you see more than 200 feet in front of you and the farms on either side of you are encased in snow. but the mysticism surrounding the decor -- a homemade cross, a simple “the true center of the nation” declaration, and various hiking boots stuck in the fence -- especially when you seem to be the only person for miles, is surreal. i left there and finally found my way out of the fog and went on into wyoming to see devils tower. the sky was a piercing blue and i was blinded by the light, but snow is always on the ground that time of the year, i guess, and i hiked knee-deep through 2 miles of it. i dropped to my knees in happiness like a weakling when i saw my car again, but i felt like cheryl strayed. people feed the prairie dogs so much there that they come right up to you. the squeaks were unending and cute. i drove the 2 or 2.5 hours back, mostly in the dark, my feet water-logged but my heart full.
i drove to mount rushmore the next day. it’s strange always knowing of something and finally seeing it in person. i love the sculpture and i don’t know how people are able to do things like that. i wish i could have hiked closer to it, but the trails were still closed for winter. then, through the black hills i continued, coming up to the crazy horse memorial and reluctantly paying the admission fee, although i know it helps their progress. i know i probably won’t be alive when (and if) it’s completed, but it’s nice to see at least part of it. i wish i could go up to it. maybe one day. wind cave national park came after, and i saw bison munching on grass 10 feet away from me. i wish i could have gone into the cave. maybe one day. i walked along the grassland without a jacket on. i couldn’t believe it. i left and took the backroads to return to mount rushmore to see it at night. it was scary, especially navigating the never-ending curves in the black of the unpopulated areas, but coming closer to the monument, i passed through one-car tunnels that framed the sculpture perfectly.
the next day was my second time around at the badlands. i hiked half of the castle trail and climbed some of the formations, able to admire all i could see from a throne made of crumbly rock. there was fog in the morning which lifted to another sunny day. there were cacti and deer and even phone lines. the shadows in the creases of the hills kill me with their nonchalant elegance. i went back to my motel and came back into the park at night. i had never seen so many stars, although it was so goddamn frightening being in a parking lot unable to see 5 feet in front of me that i left after a few minutes.
my last day, i was supposed to go to jewel cave national monument, but it snowed and caused some of the roads to close. instead, i walked through the storm to wall drug store and meandered around the kitschiness. i want to bring people there to show them how incredible it is.
i drove back to washington over the next 3 days, stopping at the now snow-covered badlands for one last look, the green giant in minnesota, effigy mounds national monument, dubuque, and everywhere in between along the way.
native american history around all of the places i have mentioned is rich and cannot be underestimated. i didn’t talk about it, but these places are of course sacred to the tribes of the region and it is paramount to respect that. i think the nps tries to educate, but it could do more.
i went about 4,200 miles on that trip. i miss the days of driving with my playlist that took months to create.
i came back to washington and didn’t really talk about my journey except for a mention of it when discussing what we had done over spring break in german class. i love to recount this 10 day period, but i don’t do so very much because i feel inarticulate and i don’t want to minimize the effect it has had on me.
saw langhorne slim, don mclean, and george ezra (on 3 separate occasions)
was a part of park rx day with rock creek park
saw old crow medicine show (which has become a yearly tradition i guess lmfao)
went to the graduation happy hour for the library circulation desk. that night was something i’ll never forget. i miss that place so much.
the next day, drove to clemson to see melissa graduate! what a time in our lives. then promptly drove back to dc for my own graduation
but the night before my ceremony, i saw david byrne. it was wild but not as great as i had hoped, mostly because i couldn’t see too well.
graduated from american university, but continued to be on its campus a few days a week until mid-august because i couldn’t bear the thought of leaving the library or the campus. i love that place more than i thought i ever would.
saw shakey graves 2 days in a row, as you do
saw pussy riot thanks to a recommendation from my german professor
visited my work friend’s farm just outside of baltimore
saw pauly d dj at a club lmfaoooooo
found a shark’s tooth at calvert cliffs state park
went to new york for a day to visit brandon before he moved to san francisco! i got in around 5:30am and had the first part of the day to myself. i went to staten island and all the nps sites downtown, then met him at his brother’s apartment a couple blocks from central park (???!!!!). we went to greenwich village, ate lunch at the white horse tavern, and then had a second lunch from mcdonald’s in washington square park. he had to go after a while, but i walked over to the high line to see the sunset. i walked ~45k steps that day but the joy is remembered more than the pain in the end.
i worked and flirted with a nice guy. i might visit him in california in may.
went to nashville to see paul simon with my friend callie. we rocked and enjoyed trashy nashy. that same day, paul simon announced his final show in queens was to be in september. i thought about how i could attend.
we came back to charleston through the smokies and went swimming in the rain. the beauty of that area is unlike anything else. then we met lauren for lunch and it was so goddamn nice. i wish it could have been for longer.
saw harry styles bc i love myself ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
had a couple friends visit and we did the touristy stuff of dc. it was nice to do that with people for once.
had a couple more friends visit and we went to asbury park for the fourth of july. it was atmospheric and i couldn’t believe i was in springsteen’s stomping ground, especially as one of his song’s namesakes.
saw southside johnny and the asbury jukes
saw a ship belonging to the spanish navy when it docked in charleston for a couple days
started my second long trip of the year
drove from dc to cleveland, first of all. i spent as much time as i could in the rock and roll hall of fame. i saw all the stuff i had learned about in my rock and roll history class and stuff i had grown up with and everything else i didn’t know about. “bruce juice,” pete seeger’s banjo head, and a couple free games of pinball were memorable moments. then, i went on to the cleveland museum of art, where i took a photo i wasn’t supposed to and recognized a couple pieces from my art class sophomore year. i loved cleveland way more than i thought i would and saw myself as a resident there.
went to cuyahoga valley national park the next morning, admiring the only national park in ohio with its waterfalls and greenery, and continued on to bowling green, kentucky. on the way, i went to kent state (which affected me more than i thought -- the military is too often a disgusting institution).
took a 4 hour tour deep into mammoth cave and saw things i couldn’t have even fathomed before. i couldn’t really wrap my head around the fact that we were underground where it is always dark yet still teeming with life. the change in humidity when coming back outside made my camera fog up for a good few minutes. it was funny, really. afterwards, i took advantage of the parts of mammoth cave national park that light does touch -- i got soaked in a rainstorm but seeing the green river and having a butterfly land on my finger were things i will always remember. wet and cold, i went on a second tour of a different part of the cave by lantern light in the evening. we saw cave graffiti and even a bat.
i left that area and moved on to the cumberland gap. it was the day before my 22nd birthday and i was in 3 states at once (for the second time this year). “salt seeking buffalo, moccasin clad warriors, dreaming pioneer, battling civil war soldiers. each was here in the historic cumberland gap, and now so are you.” [punctuation added] has got to be one of my favorite signs i’ve ever seen. it conveys the history in simple terms, which is the way i like things. it’s endlessly meaningful without being pretentious.
on my birthday, i toured the forbidden caverns near the smokies, then hiked some of the alum cave bluffs trail. i wish i could have done the whole thing, but i was short on time, as i wanted to be back in charleston by the evening to celebrate my birthday with my parents.
the day after, i slept in for once, went to the angel oak with melissa, and saw brian wilson and the gang perform all of pet sounds with callie. it was nice but there were so many empty seats that it was a little sad.
started my travels again, going back to the smokies area but stopping in blowing rock first and then going down the blue ridge parkway. the next day, i went to pigeon forge and rode an alpine coaster and finally did a somewhat substantial hike in the smokies -- charlies bunion. i saw a mother bear and her 2 babies and was alone on the trail with a beautiful deer. after that hike, i did the tail of the dragon drive and went to fontana dam, where the fog along the water made for an otherworldly feeling in my heart.
came back to charleston once again, but not before swimming around looking glass falls and feeling that this is what summer should look like. also made a stop at the carl sandburg home nhs.
started my drive back to dc for the last time, but took the scenic route -- south of the border, luray caverns, and the hardest hike i’ve ever done over in shenandoah. the famed old rag. it was a rainy tuesday, and the rocks were slippery. i didn’t see a single other person. i clutched those rocks for dear life at times, but i made that 10 mile hike and it was invigorating. i miss getting grimy in the forest.
that whole trip took me 3,755 miles around the eastern us with my ipod, 60s on 6, and phlash phelps’s voice in the morning as my soundtrack.
acknowledged in my head that it was nearly time to the leave the library, a home of mine for the past three and a half years. i told people the date of my departure and it inched closer despite my desire for time to stop progressing.
had a tour of the towers of the national cathedral. it’s not something many people have done and i’m glad to have seen the not-so-showy parts of the structure, along with a closer-up look at the showy parts we know and love.
had a visit from lauren -- we went to nando’s, the portrait gallery, and thrift shops with paige. i wish it would have lasted longer.
went to six flags with my friend from work, where we rode every ride we wanted to. it was carefree, even though my pants ripped.
my final day at the library inevitably came and went. instagram follows and facebook friends increased as i knew this was now the only way to see the people i had known for so long. i got choked up, and i’m choked up even writing this. to say i miss it is to put it very insignificantly. i have left some of myself there.
went back to new york for a few days, where i met up with my father so that we could see a concert in central park celebrating the greenwich village folk scene of the 60s. the mc was richard barone, who we’d met 2 years prior when he gave us a tour of greenwich village. on that trip, i saw theodore roosevelt’s birthplace (thank god for him, sincerely), the cloisters, staten island again, the seinfeld restaurant, and even coney island. we took the bus back to dc and drove my ‘97 ford escort back to charleston.
for the few days i had in charleston before moving to orlando to work for disney, i hung out with people like old times. trivia, the beach, apartments. the circuit.
i really fuckin moved to orlando, i guess. i moved in with 7 other people. we resort-hopped before we got our entrance passes to the parks. i felt mostly unmoved by the orientations that they try so hard to brainwash us with. i took a huge paycut coming here.
i started working at the food and wine festival. goddamn, i miss working at epcot. i saw the groovin alps play their bavarian percussion music and i poured beer and served lobster rolls and korma chicken and lentil stew and everything in between. i met dozens of beautiful people, some of whom are gone back now to from where they came. but i’m still here.
i mentioned earlier that paul simon announced back in june that his final concert would be in queens in late september. i bought a ticket the day they went on sale and was determined to find a way to attend. i did. i flew to new york for a few days -- came into penn station from newark, walked around to greenwich village and the brooklyn bridge and went to the museum of the moving image late in the evening on a friday when it was free. the next day, i visited the queens museum in flushing-meadows corona park (where the concert was also being held) and was in line for the show by 11:30am. i waited for like 8 hours in all, but i was front row. that final paul simon show (which we all know isn’t really the final one, but it did have a certain finality to it) was transformative for me, paul, and everyone else in the audience. i saw lorde, jimmy fallon, and john mulaney. i cried and was recorded and tapped along and admired the performances of “the cool, cool river” and “the obvious child” and every other goddamn song he played. i stuck around as long as i could. the next day, i flew back to orlando and returned to work, but i felt different.
lived the typical life of a college program participant: work, go to the parks, work, go to the parks, sleep.
voted somewhere along the way and was overjoyed that democrats took back the house.
went to st augustine with sarah
eventually, the food and wine festival ended and i was transferred to port orleans riverside, where i currently am. it’s awful but i’m alive.
spent thanksgiving, christmas, and every other holiday at work. it wasn’t really a big deal but it was obviously depressing.
at the beginning of december, broke down and bought a plane ticket back to dc. i had to pick up a poster from the anthem (a music venue), anyway. i stayed with paige and saw my old work friends and just had a good time. goddamn, it was cold, but it was worth it. i finally was able to tour the department of the interior and and i went to theodore roosevelt island for the first time since like freshman year. we even saw zoo lights and went to the christmas pop-up bar on 7th street again.
played basketball one time lmao
played jackbox countless times with my roommates and we made a few trips to jellyrolls, one of the best parts of disney world. i love to go there and sing and hear the piano.
spent new year’s eve at jellyrolls, coincidentally, where i stole a noisemaker and we all wore hats and sang “auld lang syne” when the clock struck midnight, just as you’re supposed to do.
laughed and cried while going through so many large life changes but still understanding that there is always some sort of constant in your life
drove more than i think i ever have before
went to several of the concerts they had for the food and wine festival -- saw people like air supply, starship, and the plain white t’s
listened to countless hours of music -- i think my most listened-to artists were springsteen, dylan, paul simon, maybe david cassidy, old crow medicine show, and lorde.
song of the year: “fare thee well (dink’s song),” marcus mumford and oscar isaac (from inside llewyn davis). it’s an incredible song to travel to.
was always conflicted about working for disney, but really became disgusted with the corporation the more i worked here. i will be happy to not work for them anymore when the time comes because it makes me so uncomfortable to be employed by an entity that doesn’t give a shit about its employees and milks every single fucking penny that it can out of its customers, all under the guise of being giving and magical by using terminology such as “interactions,” “magical moments,” and “guests”
considered my options after this is all over
loved the national park service and even wrote a capstone on it
2018 was the most eventful year of my life. i am not in school for the first time that i can remember; i have a degree. i travelled to more of the us than i ever knew really existed, i saw incredible concerts, and i met some truly wonderful people. but of course, the difficult moves that come along with a year like this were depressing. i knew i would be completely heartbroken when i had to leave the library back in august, but i didn’t realize how sorry i would also be to see my roommates go back to their homes at the end of their tenure at disney. it’s been 2 days, but i miss being able to hang out with them. to gain all the life experience i did, it was necessary to lose some really great parts of my old life. and that blew. but you get over it.
this year in review has taken me so long to write because i had so much to include that it seemed overwhelming to try to articulate it all. i think back to when i would wait until the night before a paper was due to start it, and i feel the same way. but the power in finishing it and having something tangible that points to a certain time in your life and explains the way you felt at that moment is like nothing else. even if the paper you write is shit, it never seems as bad (at least, to me) when you return to read through it a year or two later. it’s your thoughts set in stone, frozen in time. it’s a nice reminder. and i really enjoy writing these posts and i generally like what i write and how i say things, despite the inevitable procrastination in doing so.
i always think of “auld lang syne” when i do a year in review. sure, it’s a standard song for the new year and these year in reviews are written on or around the new year. but to write this, i have to think back to days gone by, before the year even started. and i get this feeling in my stomach of nostalgia and wistfulness (i’ve written about it before, i know) reflecting on the good ol days of these past 365 days and the times before them. we live in strange times right now, especially during what has become a two-week long (and counting!) partial government shutdown, but the memories of the warm past and the dreams of a better future are always going to be around to steady your head. without the abstract, how would we get to the concrete?
“we all cherish our children’s futures. and we are all mortal.”

I was tagged by @ayo-jin ♥ I hope things are going well! I’m sorry for not having responded in a while ;;
Are you named after someone? - kind of but not rlly?? ehh ya’ll rdy for the most morbid story of ur life. so before i was ashlyn, i was gonna be named jenna beth bc my grandma wanted it that way right. but like,,, some time before i was born my mom was watching the news and saw that a baby got sUper rekt by a babysitter and suffered a horrible death #rip smol bab but anyways that baby was named ashlyn and i am now living the legacy that baby should have
When is the last time you cried? - @plsinx when we started that dumb elf/human angst whenever tf that was
Do you like your handwriting? - I do! But only when I’m taking notes. I tend to write better when I know it’s for something important.
What is your favorite lunch meat? - Deli sliced turkey tbh. I kind of live off on it sometimes.
Do you have kids? - Only the worst best cat in the world ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
If you were another person, would you be friends with yourself? - It depends on if I was still the same and not someone with another personality because tbh finding friends like me is a stRUGGLe and I need more. But if I was someone else entirely, prooobably not. I think I’m kind of hard to talk to sometimes and that I come off kind of cold and distant.
Do you use sarcasm? - Not really.
Do you still have your tonsils? - Yee.
Would you bungee jump? - I want to say yes, but that’s probably easier said than done haha. I don’t mind heights, but I mind the whole falling aspect, so yikes.
What is your favorite kind of cereal? - ppl think im wrong for liking plain cornflakes but come on guys it’s so good
Do you untie your shoes when you take them off? - Nah. You just pull ‘em off and go.
Do you think you’re a strong person? - this one is actually hard to answer. i’m weird when it comes to handling things.
What is your favorite ice cream flavor? - It’s a tie between raspberry and mint chocolate.
What is the first think you notice about people? - Body language and hair tbh.
Red or pink? - Pink.
What is the least favorite physical thing you like about yourself? - My skin. I have a lot of acne scars and scars just in general. I also have a lot of freckles and blood spots due to me always scratching at my skin. It’s just not a good look lmfao.
What color pants and shoes are you wearing right now? - I’m actually barefoot rn, but I have black pajama pants on with a red and white plaid pattern on it.
What was the last thing you ate? - Like two packs of those cheddar crackers with cheese or peanut butter in the middle. I have no self control.

If you were a crayon, what color would you be? - One of the crayola crayons that has glitter in them

Favorite sport to watch? - I’m not big into sports tbh, but I don’t mind soccer.
Hair color? - It’s brown now! Now that I’ve grown it back to it’s natural hair color, I’ll be able to dye it fun colors ;A;
Eye color? - Blue.
Do you wear contacts? - Nope! I think I look best with my glasses.
Favorite food to eat? - hit me up with that subway tho
Scary movies or comedies? - I am much too anxious for horror movies, so I’ll take a comedy. The last time I watched a horror movie, I think I actually ended up crying later that night because I was so afraid to sleep pft.
Last movie you watched? - Free: Starting Days.
What color of shirt are you wearing? - It’s a bright blue. It doesn’t match my pants at all lol.
Summer or winter? - Winter, but I prefer autumn overall.
Hugs or kisses? - //sweats where’s the option for a good fist bump bc i prefer neither
What book are you currently reading? - Invision by Sherrilyn Kenyon. It’s been a while since I read the last book, so I don’t remember like the 2039203 characters, plus the dialogue in this one is a whole lot cringier than I remember the last books being. Disappointing, really, since it’s one of my favorite fantasy series. But it’s ok because Caleb is still best demon boy ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Who do you miss right now? - @ithemighty i miss my boys ok do u kno how often im listening to the frame series (honestly take a shot every time i promote them)
